Chapter 4: Chapter Four: Zhang Sanfeng: Getting This Excited Over a Bowl of Fried Rice

A week later, the Jianghu World

"Let's rest here for now!"

Inside a dilapidated temple in the wilderness, Yue Buqun temporarily lodged with Ning Zhongze, Yue Lingshan, Linghu Chong, Lin Pingzhi, and others.

Since a week ago, when Yue Buqun decided to help Lin Pingzhi reclaim his family's property.

He deliberately waited two days before setting out.

Those two days were because Yue Buqun had once again gone to the back mountain.

Unfortunately, there was not the slightest sign over both nights.

Yue Buqun understood that immortal fortune did not come every day.

So he took his disciples and headed first to Mount Qingcheng to recover Lin Pingzhi's family property.

After traveling all the way, they finally made temporary camp in this wilderness temple.

In the deep silence of night, just as Yue Buqun was drifting into sleep, a white mist suddenly appeared inside the ruined temple.

Instantly, Yue Buqun woke up; before he could think further, the surroundings shifted, and he reappeared atop the Chaos Passage.

"Phew, it seems only I have the immortal fortune!"

Stepping onto the Chaos Passage again, seeing only himself around, Yue Buqun couldn't help but sigh with relief.

Inside the temple, there were still others besides himself.

Yet only he had appeared here!

In a cheerful mood, Yue Buqun walked again into the food shop.

But as soon as he stepped into the food shop, Yue Buqun paused in slight surprise.

Inside the shop, besides himself and the owner, there were two other figures.

"Huh? Why so many people today?"

Seeing the three newcomers enter, Su Mu stood up and murmured in mild confusion.

"Is there a movie being filmed nearby?"

After glancing at Yue Buqun's figure, Su Mu ignored him outright and turned to the two new arrivals.

One was an elderly man with white hair and a ruddy complexion, wearing a Taoist robe, his exact age indiscernible.

Beside him was a middle-aged man around fifty, also dressed in a Taoist robe, like the elder.

As Su Mu studied the two, they were studying Su Mu in return.

Behind them, Yue Buqun, seeing the slightly familiar Taoist robe, instantly changed expression!

Bad—this robe, these two are from Wu Dangpai!

Although he didn't recognize these two, he recognized Wu Dangpai's Taoist robes!

Instantly, seeing other sects present at the immortal's place, Yue Buqun felt pressure.

"Owner, please bring me one braised egg and a cup of cold boiled water!"

Sensing the pressure, Yue Buqun immediately called out.

As a regular at the immortal's shop, Yue Buqun found a seat and sat down.

"Alright, just a moment!"

Seeing this big fat sheep return again, Su Mu couldn't help but smile.

People this foolish with money are rare!

He came just yesterday, and today he's back to spend more money!

Glancing at the two who hadn't ordered yet, Su Mu went ahead to prepare the braised egg and cold boiled water.

Meanwhile, Zhang Sanfeng and Song Yuanqiao, both in Taoist robes, turned to glance at Yue Buqun.

"Master, what do you think?"

"Sit down first!"

Zhang Sanfeng gently shook his head—he had clearly sensed Yue Buqun's strength.

But he could not fathom Su Mu's or this shop's true power.

Originally, he had been with his eldest disciple on Wu Dangpai's back mountain when a white mist suddenly brought him here.

While reading the menu, their minds were filled with additional information.

Confused, Zhang Sanfeng led Song Yuanqiao to sit down first.

On the other side, Su Mu had already brought the braised egg and cup of cold boiled water to Yue Buqun.

Skillfully pulling out six gold leaves from his sleeve, Yue Buqun ignored everything else.

After a week's absence, seeing the familiar braised egg again, Yue Buqun felt his internal energy seem to cheer!

Gently picking up the braised egg before him, Yue Buqun took a small bite, as if entranced.

As before, the egg melted on his tongue, and a cool energy surged instantly into his dantian.

The Purple Mist Divine Art immediately began spinning rapidly within Yue Buqun's body.

Beside him, Zhang Sanfeng and Song Yuanqiao, watching Yue Buqun eat an egg with such rapture, were momentarily stunned.

"Master, is this man mad?"

Song Yuanqiao muttered softly; due to the system's isolation, outsiders could not sense Yue Buqun's rising internal energy.

So to Song Yuanqiao, it looked like a martial artist spending sixty taels of silver just to eat an egg.

And he ate it with such ecstasy, as if the egg were some supreme delicacy!

Even after decades in the jianghu world, Song Yuanqiao had never seen such a madman!

As the two murmured, Yue Buqun on the other side, after slowly chewing, finally swallowed the entire braised egg.

Then he lifted the cold boiled water and drank it all down, licking his lips with lingering satisfaction.

The sight left Song Yuanqiao and Zhang Sanfeng stunned.

After finishing the braised egg and cold boiled water, Yue Buqun rose reluctantly.

Huashan Sect was simply too poor; this time they had spent sixty taels of silver, and another such expense would leave them penniless.

Looking up at the menu's egg fried rice, Yue Buqun truly wanted to eat it—but he couldn't afford it!

Yet Yue Buqun's demeanor, as seen by Zhang Sanfeng and Song Yuanqiao, took on a different meaning.

"Yuanqiao, we're all people of the Jianghu—help him this once!"

Seeing Yue Buqun reduced to the point he couldn't even afford egg fried rice, Zhang Sanfeng, as a Martial Arts patriarch, felt he ought to lend him aid.

"Owner, please bring three portions of egg fried rice—one for this man!"

At Zhang Sanfeng's words, Song Yuanqiao naturally nodded.

Ten taels of gold might be a fortune to others.

But to the Wu Dangpai, led by a Wu Lin patriarch, it meant nothing.

Since they had come here, they naturally wished to witness its wonders.

So Song Yuanqiao simply waved his hand and ordered three portions of egg fried rice!

"Understood, guests, please wait!"

Seeing the two newcomers wave their hands and order three portions of egg fried rice, Su Mu immediately smiled.

Damn, these guys are rich—do actors make this much money these days?

Smiling broadly, Su Mu went off to make the egg fried rice.

After a while, Su Mu emerged carrying three portions of Jin Guang–glowing egg fried rice.

"Please enjoy!"

With a light laugh, Su Mu left them to their meal without further disturbance.

As soon as the egg fried rice arrived, Yue Buqun became utterly overcome with emotion.

He never imagined anyone would treat him to this!

Meanwhile, Zhang Sanfeng and Song Yuanqiao exchanged a glance.

What a pitiful child—to be so moved by a simple plate of egg fried rice!
